The correct answer is: 66

The Bible is a collection of religious texts that are considered sacred by Christians and Jews. It is divided into two sections the Old Testament, which contains 39 books, and the New Testament, which contains 27 books. Together, these two sections make up a total of 66 books in the Bible. Option A is incorrect because it is too low of a number. Option B is incorrect because it is only the number of books in the Old Testament. Option D is incorrect because it is too high of a number. Option C is the only option that accurately reflects the number of books in the Bible.
